Albus and Minerva slowly made their way out onto the grounds and over to the river. The day was pleasant; rather nippy, however so they couldn't stay long. BUT they could get veeeeery snuggly. ^_^
"Lovely day, insn't it, Albus? The sky couldn't BE any more beautiful!" Minerva commented lightly. Albus chuckled.
"Quite beautiful, yes..." he said playfully. He cast her a meaningful look. She shook her head.
"Did you see Rolanda's latest prank, Albus? I don't think Severous will ever live it down." Minerva smirked.
"What did she do? Did she hang him from a drying hook by his underclothes, again? I must admit that that was one of her more...MEMORABLE jokes..."Albus said.
Minerva shook her head slyly.
"No, but a good guess."
"Alright, did she charm his skin bright pink again?"
"She never did that, Albus.....I did.....try thinking about his hair.
"She, didn't by any chance, DYE it a certain color, did she?"
Minerva smiled and nodded.
Albus burst out laughing.
"Oh, dear! Please tell me that you managed to get a photograph of that!!" he chuckled.
"Well, it was a near miss, but we did get a rather good shot of Severus with his new...hair..."
Minerva showed Albus a photo. In it, she and Poppy were trying to yank Snape into view, but he was putting up a rather good fight. Eventually, Rolanda rammed him into the picture. Albus laughed again. Severus had a bright pink mohawk and he was bright red. He started to shout some highly un-writeable words at the three hysterical witches.
Minervat ucked the picture away with a smug smile. Albus tweaked her nose.
"My goodness! Someone's been a NAUGHTY little witch, hasn't she??" Albus said in a mock scold. Minerva brushed away his hand and the pair continued to walk. A small gust of wind picked up. The Beaxbatons' horses stamped their feet as the professers walked by.
Minerva hugged her upper arms and shivered.
"Dear, dear, DEAR. It is rather cold out, don't you think?" she said briskly. Albus grinned and he hugged Minerva from behind.
"Feel warmer?"
"Yes, yes I do, now could you please stop breathing on my glasses? They're fogging up."
Albus kissed Minerva's cheek and snatched her glasses off her nose.
"ALBUS!!" she barked.
"Yes, Minerva?" he chuckled. Albus hid her glasses behind his back and stepped closer to the river's edge. Minerva gave him a mock glare and planted her hands on her hips.
"Albus, give me my glasses. NOW."
Albus backed away from her.
"Sorry, Professer. I don't think I will."
"Albus Dumbledore!You give me those glasses back RIGHT No-aaahhhhh!!"
SPOOOSH!!
Minerva had tried to lunge at Albus but he had sidestepped her and she'd tumbled into the river.(Which was very shallow, thankfully) Albus roared with laughter as the soaked witch irately pushed her wet hat off her brow, so that she could glare at her lover.
"Goodness, you look FABULOUSLY funny, dear!" Albus declared, leaning down to peer at her.
Minerva brought herself up closer to Albus. She tweaked his nose and whispered:
"Oh, I know something ELSE that is fabulously funny...."
Albus grew intrested. The look on Minerva's face was most attention keeping.
"What would that be?" he asked. Minerva put her hands on Albus' shoulders and yanked him in with her.
"THAT." Minerva said triumphantly. She snatched back her glasses and placed them back on the bridge of her nose. Albus spluttered at her as she tried to climb out of the rather cold water. Minerva had ALMOST made it out and would have gotten onto the grass if Albus hadn't snaked an arm around her waist and pulled her onto his lap, where he snuggled closer to her.
Minerva sighed in defeat and leaned back.
/Let him think he's won for now, but I SHALL get him later...this is my best hat.../ Minerva thought coyly. Albus and Minerva finally desided that it was too cold to sit around in a river bed for the rest of the evening, so they started to crawl out of the river. Albus supressed a chuckle as a sopping Minerva made her way to the river bank. In the back of his head, a little, annoying voice as saying some thing to him.
/It's now or never, old boy! Just go up and ask her!/
/Are you insane!!?? We both just fell into a RIVER!! I'm very sure no woman would like to be engaged while she's sopping wet!/
/Shut up!She won't care. That's the kind of woman she is! Besides, you must make up for the lost time! Go on, you know you want to.../
/ALRIGHT! If it will silence you, I'll ask now!/
"Minerva?" Albus asked shyly.
"Yes, Albus?" Minerva responded from the bank where she was drying herself.
"Would you do something very important for me? Something that could change our lives in many, MANY ways?" Albus aked.
"Of course." Minerva answered at once. She looked at Albus attentively.
The wizard took a deep breath and released it. He groped inside his pocket and found the small, velvet box. He crawled up onto the bank and walked over to Minerva was standing. Kneeling, he looked up into her surprised face.
"Would you please marry me?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All I can say to our couple is :"It's ABOUT RUDDY TIME!!!" Oh, and Albus argues inside his own head??

[Jaya]

he did it! He found the PERFECT time!!!!

Beautiful!

Jaya ;D

[LadyJolly]

More soon please

Lady Jolly

[doctormadwoman]

Your wish is my command!! Anyway, it's November, not April...my bad.

Minerva looked down at the wizard before her in shock. Tears trickled out of the corners of her emerald eyes.
"Alb-bus??" she squeaked. The man took another deep breath and began talking again.
"I understand if you don't want to wed, we've been going out for less than a year and I know it seems like everything's been going so fast; what with our relationship, the Triwizard tournament, Karkaroff and Madam Maxime, Harry Potter as the fourth champion and all the stress of the school. But I would be honoured if you would become my wife. I don't think anything else could make me happier. Well...one or two children......Anyway, I ask you again: Will you marry me?"
Minerva's eye's swelled with tears. Albus Dumbledore was asking her to marry him. HER. It was strange, so very, very strange. What did she have to offer?? How could she be of any use to him? What did he see in her?
/Oh, for the love of all that is Holy; stop asking these idiotic questions and accept already!! Your being an idiot! Say YES!!!!/
Minerva was sobbing hard, but she did manage to choke out:
"Yes."
Albus looked up unbelievingly at his companion.
/She said 'yes'??!! She said YES!!!/
/I told you she would..../
"You...will??" Albus said quietly. Minerva laughed and cried at the same time.
"I will! I will, I will, I will!!" she laughed. Albus leaned back and grinned like an idiot. This had to be some impossibly wonderful dream. Minerva took this chance to throw herself at Albus, knocking them both back into the water, she threw her arms around Albus' neck and kissed him soundly. Albus raised his soaked arms from the riverbed and wrapped the tightly around the still tearful witch on top of him. Given that Minerva had knocked the wind out of him and their kissing was absorbing the last of his oxygen, Albus sat up, still holding the overjoyed Minerva.
"What day shall we have the wedding on?" Albus asked gently.
"The day after Christmas.The day you got me under the blasted mistletoe." Minerva chuckled. She leaned her head against Albus' shoulder.
"Splendid!! We shall hold it in the Great Hall, with every last student, teacher , ghost, and guest there." Albus said excitedly. Minerva pulled back and looked at him.
"Albus, we don't want this leaking out. It could damage your professional career!" she barked. She didn't care so much about her career, but the school truly needed Albus.
Albus put his forehead against hers.
"Minerva, I couldn't care less about my career as long as I got to marry you. To put you at ease, we shall make all gathered swear an Unbreakable Oath. Does that satisfy you?"
Minerva nodded and smiled.
"Well, I'm getting rather cold, shall we ajourn to the castle?" Minerva asked.
"I agree. We will need a plausible story, for our wetness, however." Albus declared. Both looked at their robes. Minerva's emerald green setlooked quite ruined as did Albus'. Minerva thought for a moment, then smiled.
"Simple; We just say that twisted my ankle while walking and fell into the river. Then you valiantly went after and fished me out." Minerva said coyly. Albus beamed.
"An inspired idea! Oh, but if you've twisted your ankle, then I shall have to carry you, won't I?"
Albus asked, his eyes twinkling. Minerva laced her arms around Albus' neck.
"Yes, you will."
"Well, we'd better get going if we want to change before the feast." Albus said. He slipped and arm under his companion's legs and stood up. By some amazing act of balance, Albus managed to climb out of the river and not drop his fiancee'. they passed the Dumstrangs on their way to the castle. Karkaroff stopped suddenly and stared rudely at Albus and Minerva.
"Dumbledore?! What are you doing? Why are you wet? And why are you carrying your Deputy
around??!" he barked harshly. Albus turned around and stared at his 'friendly rival'.
"Well, Professer McGonagall and I were walking along the river when she twisted her ankle and fell in. I went in also and pulled her out, but she's in no condition to walk." Albus answered politely. Karkaroff blinked in surprise.
"Oh, well then....." he trailed off. His students were looking at the pair with intrest. A few of the girls smiled. Albus smiled cherfully and adressed Karkaroff again.
"Oh, did I neglect to mention that I asked Minerva to marry me? I think I did..."
Karkaroff made a choking, spluttery noise and gaped at Dumbledore.
"WHAT?!! Why are you marrying?! Why WOULD you marry?! It's an utterly USELESS thing to do! You Hogwarts teachers are all foolish to marry. Mark my word's Dumbledore, you're going to regret proposing! Oh, yes indeed!" Karkaroff snorted. Minerva signaled for Albus to put her down. As soon as her green hobnailed boots touched the earth, she strode over to the Bulgarian Headmaster and looked him in the eye.
"Just because you've found marriage to be useless doesn't give you the right to scorn those who wish to marry. To generalize all marriages as awful is quite closeminded indeed, Karkaroff! While I can forgive your small-mindedness, I will not take any slights on this school lightly. So in the future, keep your comments to yourself, or you'll have ME to answer to." Minerva said haughtily. Karkaroff leaned back and spluttered in astounded fury as Minerva whirled on her heel and walked back to Albus, her head held high.
"Come, Albus, we must return to the school." she barked.
@@@@@in THE GREAT HALL@@@@@@@@@

Albus and Minerva sat at the high table talking merrily to their neighbors. they were waiting untill after dessert to make their announcment. Karkaroff made a point to ignore Minerva as much as possible, and that was fine by her. The less time wasted talking to him, the better.
Madame Maxime turned in her seat to speak to Albus.
"Ees it 'rue, Albus, that you are ta'ing a wife??" she asked firmly. She said it loud enough to draw the whole staff table's attention. Rolanda rudely dumped Snape out of his chair so she could get closer to the Heads.
"Why ,yes, I am. Karkaroff told you, I expect." Albus said in an amused tone.
Madame M's reaction was far different than Karkaroff's.
"'Ow wonderful! Who ees thee woman??" she asked. All the staff waited with baited breath. Albus, instead of telling them, stood up and waved for silence.
"Ladies and gentelmen! Ghosts and Guests! I have an importent announcment to make!!" he called. Albus turned and took Minerva's hand, pulling her into a standing position.
"I have asked your very own Professer McGonagall to join me in Holy Matrimony, and she has accepted!! Standing here before you, is the future Mrs. Albus Dumbledore!!" Albus shouted. Minerva blushed scarlet as the entire school stared at her. After an akward silence that lasted a moment, the Gryffindor table exploded into cheers, laughter and clapping. The staff joined in a second after, followed by the Hufflepuffs, the Ravenclaws, the guests, and a majoredy of the Slytherins. Minerva had happy tears running down her face as she and Albus bowed, their hands laced. She knew she was acting totally out of charactor, but she could care less. Albus held her left hand aloft, showing one and all the beautiful engagement ring upon her ring finger. It was gold, with a diamond sided by rubies. Nothing gaudy or huge, it was simple, elegant, but breathtaking, just like Minerva. Finally, Albus placed his hands on Minerva's back and drew her in as close as he could. The kiss was deep and sound, and with it came more cheers, whistles and applause. Breaking apart, Albus whispered:
"Well, it seems as if our wedding will be a huge affair, love."
Minerva smiled.
"Just be quiet and continue, please."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy!!

[LadyJolly]

;D ;D ;D

As Minerva walked down the halls of Hogwarts, nearly every female that had a sane thought in her head came up and talked to Minerva about the wedding. Questions such as 'what kind of dress robes will you wear?', 'what kind of music will be played? 'where's the honeymoon?' and 'what's for eating?' kept being asked over and over. Many of the Gryffindors were already bringing in wedding presents. Minerva had elisted Cho Chang, Hermione Granger, Lavender Brown and Susan Bones to help with some of the wedding preperations. Why she'd asked the help of a group of teenagers, she'd never know. Anyway, her friends were happy for her. Although, Rolanda was a little miffed at Minerva for not telling them the moment she got into the castle...
@flashback@
Minerva was walking down the hall to the lavatory after the feast, a queit smile on her face. Albus was never subtle in his announcments, and their impending marrige was no exception. Still, it was nice to have the whole of the Gryffindor house to swarm over to her and give their congratulations. Most of the girls and one or two boys had hugged her tightly. She knew her friends would pry her for every last detail, but she didn't mind. As the witch turned a corner, a black robed blur slammed into her, sending both into an empty class room.
"What in the name of all that is Holy! ROLANDA??! What on EARTH did you attack me for??!"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US DUMBLEDORE ASKED YOU TO MARRY HIM??!?!?!" Rolanda shouted.
@end FLASHBACK@
Once they got over the shock, her three best friends threw a party in honor of Albus FINALLY asking Minerva to marry him. Albus and Minerva now spent their time together planning the wedding , it was only seven weeks away. Fortunately, they idn't need to send out invitations, because all their guests were already residing within the same walls. And they agreed that the Wierd Sisters would make excellent entertainment. They would simply ask them to stay the night and perform again the next day. What they DID need included:
(A.) Wedding Robes
(B.) Favors (Minerva turned down Lemon Drops)
(C.) Someone to perform the service (Minerva refused to let Aberforth do it)
And
(D.) A way to get Rolanda into a dress robe without having to use the Imperious curse.
(The last item on that list would be just barely possible)
Decorations were no problem, they could just conjur them up, much like the Christmas decorations. And flowers would be easy to obtain, via Sylvia. Albus said that they would have to the postpone the honeymoon untill after the Triwizard tournament, given that he was a judge in it. Minerva agreed, saying it didn't matter WHERE their children were conceived. This made Albus turn slightly scarlet.


The only thing that worried Minerva was the fact that Karkaroff was attending. She didn't trust him at all, for all they knew, he could still be working for You-Know-Who. Albus said he doubted it, but Minerva still wasn't reassured. But still, if Albus a\was around, what could happen??
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sorry, that's all for now. Want me to add anything in for you folks??

[LadyJolly]

HEheheheheh this is funny. And Minerva's list that's also really funny. Maybe Minerva could get her to wear a dress by putting it on when Roland is sleeping. And then put a spell so Roland can't take it off. ehheeh I'll try to finish reading this when I get back or when I'm in California

Lady Jolly

[doctormadwoman]

Glad y'all like it!!

"Potter! Weasley! Will you pay attention?!!" Minerva snapped. The boys looked up from their mock sword fight.
"Now that Potter nad Weasley have been kind enough to act their age, I have something to say to you all." she continued sternly. Ron spoke out.
"Professer, you already SAID that if we misbehave at your wedding you'll kill us with your bare hands!" he cried. Minerva rolled her eyes.
"YES, Weasley, I am AWARE of my warning. This has to do with something ELSE."
"Oh....."
"The Yule Ball is approaching-a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament and an oppertunity for us to socialize with our foreign guests. Now, the ball will be open to all Fourth Years and above-although you may invite a younger student if you wish-"
Several of the girls giggled shrilly. Minerva ignored them.
"Dress robes will be worn, and the Ball will begin at 8:00 on Christmas Day finishing at midnight in the Great Hall. Now then-" Minerva gave a piercing stare " the Yule Ball is of course a chance for us all to-er- let our hair down.*More giggles*But that does NOT mean that we will be relaxing the standards of behavior we expect from Hogwarts students. I will be most seriously displeased if a Gryffindor student embarasses the school in any way." Minerva barked. She sent a threating look at them all.


After her talk with Potter, Minerva wearily headed to the Staff Room. Rolanda and Sylvia were lounging in front of the fire, lazily disgussing the ball. Minerva slowly sank into a chair, sighing with releif.
Rolanda looked at Minerva and snickered. Sylvia blushed and looked away.
"Hullo, Minerva...." Ro said casually. McGonagall opened one green eye and looked at her.
"Alright, what the Bloody Hell did Albus do? You only use my given name when you've got something on me."
Rolanda smiled sweetly. TOO sweetly.
"Oh, there's nothing wrong...Albus just told me to pass this letter along to you....it involves planning your wedding..." Rolanda drawled. Minerva paled and snatched away the letter. Just as she feared, the envelope was torn open. With shaking hands, Minerva snapped open the letter and read it. After three sentenses, she blushed crimson and her eyes widened with horrorfied embarassment. Rolanda chortled.
"We had no idea, Min. You should really tell us more about your dates with Albus." Rolanda teased. Minerva jumped up from her seat and tossed the crumple parchment into the fire.
"If you tell anyone, HOOCH, I'll murder you in your sleep with your own broomtail trimmers. "
she growled. Rolanda clasped her hands to her face and shook with mock fear.
"Ooooo! I'm SO frightened. Tabby's going to kill me in my sleep with my own eqipment! PLEASE, Min. You can't intimidate me." Rolanda scoffed. She looked at the glare that was set on Minerva's face and blanched.
"Alright! Alright! I won't tell a soul. Heavens, I never knew you had homosidal tendancies..."
Rolanda said. She looked at her watch and stood up.
"Well, ladies, as much fun as it is to talk about Min's love life in public, I have to be leaving. I'll see you at the feast." she said cheerily. As soon as she was gone, Minerva and Sylvia started to plan on the best way to ger Rolanda into a dress robe.
"...I DON'T think that potion is legal anymore, Minerva." Sylvia said warily. Minerva scowled. "Well, how did we manage to get her to dress up for our graduation ball??" she asked. Sylvia smiled.
"I seem to remember you walloping her over the head with your Beater's bat when she came into the Girls' room." she laughed. Minerva thought for a moment.
"Are you sure that's how we did it? Because I remember Poppy shoving Rolanda's head into that trick stair and holding her there untill she passed out from lack of oxygen."
"Well...Poppy DID do that, but only to get back at Rolanda for stealing her boyfriend."
Oh, goodness.....perhaps we should ask Poppy about this one....." Minerva said thoughtfully.
Sylvia's face lit and she snapped her fingers.
"MIN!!That's it! POPPY!! She has acess to all KINDS of sedatives!! we could ask for some Dreamless Sleep Potion and slip it into Rolanda's pumpkin juice!!"
Minerva stared at her.
"That plan may be just insane enough to work....very Rolanda-ish....."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What kind of 'Plan From Heck' mayhem ensue when our dear witches try to drug Rolanda? Who knows!! Find out tomorrow on :
MY
BIG
FAT
HOGWARTS

[Jaya]

Hooch is gonna get it!

Hilarious update (although I wish we'd been privy to the third line on of the letter...)!

Jaya ;D

[Lady Jolly soo late at night]

That was a really good update very funny and you know I want to know what the letter said TOO. heheeh Love to read more where Hooch is going to be dressed up !heheheheh

Lady Jolly

ps it may be a while til i review

[doctormadwoman]

Rest assured, she's is going to be SO mad!!

In the weeks leading up to the Yule Ball and the Wedding, Minerva, Poppy and Sylvia schemed about how they were going to dress up Rolanda for BOTH occasions. Poppy had agreed to lend the others some Dreamless Sleep Potion, on the condition that they dress Rolanda totally in pink. The others agreed at once. Minerva really didn't want to have to sedate Rolanda(for one thing, she always drooled freely when she had had D.S.P). It seemed so....LOWBROW. But, she had tried everything she could to sway her friend. She had tried to guilt her friend into it. ('I would've dressed up for YOU.') She tried calm persuasion. (Come now, Ro. This is my WEDDING we're talking about.....)She'd tried goading Rolanda into it. (Are you AFRAID to dress up??) She'd gotten furious. (@##$#$, ROLANDA! IF YOU DON'T DRESS UP FOR MY %^^%WEDDING, I'LL COME AFTER YOU IN THE #$%@ NIGHT!!) But nothing had worked. She had agreed to dress for the ball, but had refused flat out to wear the pale blue Bride's Maid gown Minerva had chosen. So there was no other alternative. At the Bachblorette pary, they'd slip some of the potion to Rolanda.
"It's not like she hasn't done worse to us in the past.Sylvia, remember that time when she'd given you a Love Potion and made you go for Filius?!!" Poppy had said. It was true...Ro HAD done some rather nasty things in the past.
Minerva shook herself from her memories as the Ball goers swarmed befroe her. She did a double take when she saw Hermione, but smiled. She and Krum did make a wonderful pair...
She had to sit away from Albus during dinner, but that was alright...they'd have time together later. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the champions started to dance. Minerva piccked out Albus in the crowd and smiled. He had a look of mock impatiance on his face and he kept casting wistful and obvious glances her way. After five minutes, Albus swept over and bowed deeply. Minerva curtsied, spreading her tartan dress robes elegantly. Albus took her hand and gently placed the other on the witch's waist. Minerva placed an elegant hand on Albus' shoulder and the began to dance. Minerva's knees felt kind of weak, but it was in the GOOD way. She and her male companion spun and twirled about the dance floor, their feet doing complicated steps. A minute or so later, Minerva spun out and the song ended. Albus bent at the waist and brushed his lips to her hand. He then tugged Minerva close and soundly kissed her. She laced her arms about his neck and popped one of her feet, much to the delight of the other ball attendees.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AND much to the delight of US, their faithul fans!!!



___________________________________________________________________________
A thoughtful chunk of advice: Don't you EVER come between Minerva and the Headmater of her heart!!!

[doctormadwoman]

Minerva enjoyed herself greatly at the Ball. she and Albus danced a few more times, chatted with friends, sat down to a fabulous dinner, and took a stroll in the garden. Minerva and Albus marveled at the magnificent rose bushes Sylvia had grown; the roses themselves were as a First Year's head and had a powerful sent. They had sat for a while, watching the faries, snuggling, and disgussing their upcomming ceremony.
"So it's settled, then? We'll use the Bonding Spell??" Minerva asked. Albus grinned and nodded.
"Only the strongest love can forge THAT spell. I figure we have MORE than enough." Albus said, wrapping an arm around his betrothed. Minerva relaxed after a moment...untill she felt something crawling in her hair.
"Minerva, you seem to have a beetle on your head." Albus said, taking her hat.
Minerva lifted a hand to her head and plucked the offending insect from her still black hair.
@@@@@@@much LATER@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Minerva, Poppy, Sarah Sinestra, Sylvia, Rolanda, Boadicea McGonagall and (sadly) Sybill Trelawney all sat in Minerva's chambers; the party had begun.....

[TheGryffindorSeeker]

awww....cool. The bettle seems familure lol. Loving it can't wait for next chapt. keep up the great work

[doctormadwoman]

"Well, ladies, shall we start our little get together??" Minerva asked. Rolanda cracked an insane grin and nodded madly. Minerva edged away from her and contiued.
"Alright, what do we do first? Any sugg-"
Rolanda leapt to her slippered feet and screamed:" TRUTH OR DARE!! I CHALLENGE YOU ALL TO TRUTH OR DARE!!!!!!!!"
Her idea was met with silence until Sarah said
"Good Lord. How much wine did you drink at the ball??!"
Rolanda rolled her eyes. Minerva glared at her.
"Are you INSANE??!! Truth or Dare?? This is a BRIDE'S NIGHT!!NOT some slumber party!!"
All the others blinked...
"I see no difference...." Boadicea said. Minerva slapped her head. There was Bo for you, and unyeilding pillar of sisterly support.
"Let's take a vote, all those in favor of Truth or Dare?"said Sarah. every one's hads except Poppy's and Minerva's went up. Minerva sighed long sufferingly and agreed.
Rolanda scrambled onto a table and shouted out the rules.
"Alrighty then, th rules are as follows:
1. No ping ponging (No having a pair playing one another again and again)
2. You HAVE to do the dare, no matter what.
3. No lying when telling truths
4.Truths and Dares must revolve around our love lives in some way.
May the aggravaitiong of the bride commence!!!"
The gathered women whooped in a child like manner. Straws were drawn and poor Poppy got the first try.
"Alright, Poppy...TRUTH.....or DARE??" Rolanda questioned dramatically.
Poppy closed her eyes as if praying for strength and then looked Ro in the eye.
"Dare me, Hoochie."
Rolanda supressed a cackle.
"Very well then, I dare you to run up and down the corridor....wearing nothing but what Nature gave you."
"I beg your pardon, Rolanda Xiomara Hooch! (Ro flinched at the middle name) I will NOT parade about the school in the nude, I thank you VERY much!!" Poppy said in a scadalized voice. Rolanda heaved a sigh.
"I thought that you may need some persuasion...how about this; complete your dare, or I yell out at the wedding feast that you and Alastor had a fling in Seventh Year." Rolanda said lightly. Poppy drained of all color.
"O.K., I'll go...."

[Lady Lavendar]

How funny!! Hope to see another update soon!

LL

[TheGryffindorSeeker]

*He he* can't wait for the update to see what happens lol

[doctormadwoman]

Poppy went into Minerva's room to disrobe and grab a robe to complete her dare. Rolanda hadn't said how far she had to go down the hall, but she wanted to be sure...
"Poor Poppy!!" cried Sarah. Boadicea and Sylvia nodded. Trelawny stared off into space.
"Rolanda! You KNOW Poppy is extreamly selfconsious. This is a horribly spiteful dare!!" Minerva said sternly.
"Oh, Poppy needs to loosen up. She's been living with you on Planet No Fun for too long." Rolanda said as she put her hands behind her head and relaxed. Minerva punched Rolanda lightly as a beet red, terrycloth robed Poppy timidly shuffled out of Minerva's bedroom.
"Ah! There's the little nudist!!" cried Rolanda. Minerva slapped her head. Rolanda could be SO trying at times.
Poppy looked ready to burst into tears as she made her way to the door with the other partygoers in tow.
"C-can I take the robe with me??" she asked weakly. rolanda was about to say no when she caught sight of Minerva hostily bradishing her wand. Rolanda's left eye invoulintarily twitched.
"Certainly....certainly...." she said. Poppy took a deep, ragged breath and bolted out of the room at top speed.
"Goodness! I had no idea dear Poppy was so quick!!" Trelawny said in her misty voice.
"Hmmm...didn't see THAT one in the crystal ball, did you??" Minerva said sarcastically.
Trelawny glared at her. "Oh, shut up, Minerva...."
McGonagall rolled her eyes at this as Sylvia snickered.
"I should have brought a camera..." Rolanda muttered. No sooner than the words left Rolanda's mouth, Poppy tore down the hall and into the room, panting heavily and an impressive magenta. Poppy threw the robe on angrily as her friends sat down around her.
"Well...how'd it go?" Sarah asked cautiously. Poppy whirled around.
"I'll tell you how it went!! I ran into ALASTOR MOODY. LITERALLY. He turned RED and muttered something about Madam HOOCH meeting him there before Albus' stag party and then ran off!!" Poppy shouted. Rolanda fought to keep a straight face.
"I admit it. I set you up, Pops." Rolanda said honestly with a shrug.
Poppy let out a cross between a shriek and a hiss. Minerva and Trelawny just barely managed to snag the back of Poppy's robe and thereby keep her from launching herself at Rolanda, who fell over backwards.
"LET GO OF ME!! I'LL KILL HER!!!" Poppy screamed as she fought against the hold of the Seer and the Deputy. Grunting, Trelawny said:" That is precisley WHY we're restraining you!!"
"Although I never thought I'd string these words together in a sober sentence, I agree with Sybill!!" Minerva said as she attempted to get an arm around the enfuriated nurse's neck.
Rolanda, meanwhile, made a picture frame out of her fingers and pionted it at Poppy.
"Hmmm....I believe I could make a short film called 'When Mediwitches Attack' with this." she said loudly, causing Poppy to strain harder. Sybill looked at McGonagall with raised eye brows.
"No, Rolanda's not always like this....sometimes she's much worse." Minerva said tersly.

It took another ten minutes to subdue Poppy, and even then she had to be placed far from Rolanda. More excitiong things happened; Minerva owned up to the time she charmed Snape's skin pink for eight days, Sarah told them all that she was the one who had put a Sticking Charm on Lucius Malfoy so that he stuck to ceiling o the Girls' room, Rolanda admitted that she actually loved Snape with a passion(this nearly floored everyone excepy Trelawny who was unaware of Rolanda's pranks.) and that she would kill them all in their sleep if they breathed a word, Poppy told them that she'd had a fling with Alastor Moody in their seventh Year, Sylvia admitted that she and Fillius Flitwick were married(this DID floor the entire party), Boadicea took a dare that involved Filtch being strung up from a torch bracket by his knickers. Eventually, the women tired of Truth or Dare and watched things called 'movies' on a 'VCR' and 'television', via Rolanda's shoplifting proess. (They watched the following movies:

*You've Got Mail [Minerva brought amusment to all when she said:"What the Hell IS it with men and the bloody 'God Father'??"]
Titanic [Much to Rolanda's disgust]
Cinderella Man [All were intrested in Russel Crowe]
and the Rocky Horror Picture Show [Witch left them all wondering if the writer was on some sort of misprescribed medication].
After a rather rough pillow fight which involved Poppy attempting to smother Minerva and Rolanda with same pillow, all the women crashed in various places in Minerva's sitting room. Well, all but three.
"Ready to dress Sleeping Beauty??" Poppy asked vicously. Minerva nodded. Rolanda had had some drugged wine a few minutes ago and was snoreing loudly now.
*"Poppy wasn't kidding when she said it would knock Rolanda on her arse." Sylvia said as she nudged Rolanda with a slippered foot.
"I wonder if I overdosed her...." Poppy said in a hopeful tone. Minerva shook her head.
*"Oh, it doesn't matter. Overdose or not, Rolanda will take it. She's ROLANDA." Minerva called from her room. She emerged a moment later carrying the pale blue gown and cast a Sticking Charm upon it.
"Minerva! You said we'd dress her all in PINK!!" Poppy hissed.
Minerva rolled her eyes.
"Alright, why don't you dye her HAIR pink? Will that make you happy??!" Minerva hissed back.
Poppy didn't answer, but through tha darkness, Minerva swore she saw an evil grin on the Mediwitch's face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* I don't own those movies and some of Minera's lines were borrowed from Ya Ya Sisterhood (GO Dame Maggie Smith!!) And in a prevous ch. I borrowed from book number four.
Hope y'all like this newest chapter!!

Rolanda Hooch rolled over, just starting to wake up. She heard a faint rustling noise nearby but ignored it. Probably just Min as a tabby cat, brushing about. She would do that once in a while, said it left her well stretched and refreshed.'Lord knows I need it.' she had said. The flying instuctor grinned as she recalled the events from last night. Life was really good if you could survive being smothered by Poppy Pomfrey.
She was a rather small woman, only 105 pounds, but she used what little weight she did have in amazing ways. Like making spectacular across the room tackles, for example... Rolanda sat up, only to feel a constricting sensation under her arms and around her waist. She looked down. Her pupils diolated, Her nostrils flared and she turned a deep shade of puce.
"Raaagggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Every inhabitent in the room shot up from their sleeping spots like bullets, all of them drew their wands clumsily. All but the bride, who was sitting on the red velvet couch.
"Was' matter? Who 'ttacked??"Boadicea uttered groggily. She brushed her greying black hair from her eyes.
Her younger sister was still sitting on the couch, sipping tea and rapidly going down the wedding check list.
"No one is being attacked, Bo. That was just a Tomboy in a bride's maid's gown." Minerva called without looking up. Rolanda lurched to her feet and rounded on the unfazed bride.
"YOU!!! YOU put me in this...this...THING while I was asleep!!!" Rolanda screamed.
Minerva looked up and cocked a finely shaped eyebrow.
"Oh, I couldn't take ALL the credit. I had associates." she said calmly. Rolanda whirled around to snarl at a laughing Sylvia and a smirking Poppy.
"Raaaggghh!! What did I ever do to you three?!! I have done nothing to warrent such a heinous punishment!!!!!" Rolanda cried dramatically.
"Actually, Ro, we went easy on you, considering what you've done to us in the past..." Sylvia said briskly. Rolanda glared at her.
"What's THAT supposed to mean?!?!" she shieked. Several of the party goers clapped their hands to their ears, small hangovers thudding away at their eardrums.
"Well, you've hexed, taunted, teased, humilated, enraged, discredited, harassed, annoyed, scared, and degraded us fro the past 56 years, we could've done so much more than dress you up, you moron." Poppy snapped. She turned and began to distribute mild hangover cures out to the guests. Rolanda stared from Poppy to Sylvia and then to Minerva.
"How'd you three manage to get this thing on me anyway??" Hooch said quietly as she sat down.
"Quite simple, really." Minerva said from behind the checklist."We just slipped some Dreamless Sleep Potion into your wine last night. Nothing spectacular. Nothing long plotted. Nothing loud or gaudy. Subtle, sneaky , quick....quite the opposite of anything you'll ever do...."
Rolanda stared for a few, tense seconds....then cracked a grin.
"Oh, you three are going to get it!!" Rolanda crwed. She knew a challenge when she saw one.
Minerva threw her friend a shrap glance.
"Uh, after the wedding, I mean....." Rolanda said quickly.
Boadicea jumped up.
"Oh, good Heavens!! The WEDDDING!! It's at noon. we'd better hurry!!!!!" she cried.
The others hastily departed, while Rolanda remained behind to mouth:"TRELANY is in the wedding??!"
Minerva sighed.
"Albus insisted...."
After all herfriends had gone, McGonagall made her way to her rooms and to the closet. From it she retreived her wedding gown.
It was time to start....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wheeeee!! Cliff hager!! Tomorrow I'll do Albus and the day after that will be the wedding!! Hand in there!!!!

[Jaya]

[TheGryffindorSeeker]

*laughs* so evil lol great chapter

[doctormadwoman]

Thankie!!!

Albus shifted and opened his eyes. He appeared to be on the floor, and he also appeared to have a bright, neon pink beard. He sighed, sat up and pulled out his wand. With a small flick, his beard faded back to white. Looking about, Albus saw his fellow stag partyers splayed across the floor, each sporting pink hair and clown make up. Looking into a mirror, Albus was hppy to find that he was make up less. Apparently, HE was the one who made them all look like carnival emplyees. Chuckling, Albus walked over to his brother, Aberforth and shook him quickly.
"Aberforth, wake up! We've got to get ready for my wedding." he said. Aberforth slowly rose to his feet. By some amazing feat of self control, none of them had gotten severe hangovers. Of course, when Albus said he'd tell Minerva about them being drunk for the wedding, nobody really felt like drinking. Albus also roused Fillius, Hagrid, Severus, Alastor, Paullus Vector(Arithmancy), Steffan Grey (Muggle Studies), Bazil Sageworth ( Numerology) and Zackary Swoth (Ancient Runes). All had mild head aches, but Albus had a small crate of Poppy's Hangover Cure in case anyone had managed to sustain a hang over. After a quick breakfast in Albus' chambers, the men set off for their chambers. Given that the wedding was just an hour away, they wasted no time. An enraged Minerva was not a welcome sight.
Albus swept into his bedroom and to his closet. From it he pulled forth his wedding robes.
"Nearly there, old boy. Nearly there..." he said cheerfully.

[doctormadwoman]

A cake fight?? BRILLIANT!!! Rolanda could take Snape with one hand tied behind her back!!!
*Cracks knuckles, Minerva winces* AlRIGHTY then !!!

At the stroke of Noon, the entire population of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry(including the ghosts) trooped down to the Great Hall to await the arrival of the bride and groom. Harry, Ron, and Hermione hovered off to the side of the massive doors looking around at the extreamly obvious wedding decorations.
"Blimey.....I thought McGonagall and Dumbledore were drunk when he proposed....I never thought this would ACTUALLY happen......" Ron muttered. He was wearing the new set of dress robes he received for Christmas which were mercifully laceless.
"Oh, come on, Ron!! You have to admit that they do go VERY well together!!!" Hermione said sternly. Her robes were enchanted to look like the sky outside. Harry just stood back.
"Are you mental?? McGonagall is so strict and boring and Dumbledore is so...not those things..." Ron said bluntly.
"RON!! Professor McGonagall is NOT boring!! You should hear some of the things she's done as an Order member!! She's incredible!!"Hermione said with feeling.
Ron opened his mouth and was about to reply when the doors to the Great Hall swept open of their own accord. The gathered students looked at one another in confusion. After a few moments of befuddlement, everyone flowed in.
It was a room transformed; in place of tables there were pews, in place of a High Table there was an alter where a little priest stood, cream colored banners spanned the ceiling, the ceiling itself was a calm blue with a whisp of cloud here and there, white, red and yellow roses were in vases eveywhere, a Griffyndor red carpet led up to the alter. Everything was beautiful. The assembled dropped into their pews and settled in for what was thought to be a loooooong wait.
Much to everyone's surprise, the groom and company popped in less than three minutes later from a door off to the side. Each and everyone of the men had on white robes. ALSO
much to everyone's surprise, Dumbledore had tied back his hair in a ponytail. To say that it looked funny would be a gross understatement ;D.
Hermione leaned over to her two bemused male companions and started to whisper excitedly.
"Oh!! The professors are haveing an old fashioned Wizarding Wedding!! That explains all the white and cream!! I think it's supposed to show that they truely wish to devote themselves to one another !!! This is is going to be facinating, I've read about weddings in 'Tradions of Wizarding History'!!!" Hermione whispered as Dumbledore stood at the alter. Ron and HYarry shared a significant look.Only Hermione would study up on Wizarding Weddings. Before anything could be done to stem Hermione's gush of informations, the Wierd Sisters struck up a Wedding March and the Great Hall doors were thrown open....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Keep waiting......I might do a trick.....

[Lady Lavendar]

This was a good update. Can't wait to see what will happen during the wedding.
